Do you run across Dartmoor? Would you like to see Dartmoor’s rainforest spread across the landscape? If so then please support this campaign to bring back Dartmoor’s rainforests. Take a look at the website in Guy’s post and get involved.

You can also listen to Laura & Vassos here…. 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v... #RunningPod

Laura chats to Vassos Alexander, sports presenter & veteran of some of the world's toughest ultramarathons. Vassos shares his captivating philosophy of being a "minimalist maximalist": chasing logic-defying distances while stripping away the noise, the over-complicated gear & the ego. #RunningPod

REMINDER: Global heat waves are FOSSIL FUEL‑driven climate chaos. Recent research shows that warming linked to the world’s biggest oil and gas companies has made EVERY major 21st‑century heatwave more intense and more frequent.

Enjoy the run, wherever your green running takes you this weekend.

1/2 I patch holes up to say 3cm long. Fix by stitching, patching or both. Depends on the hole & fabric. I use @pair-ups.bsky.social kits but you can put your own together using KT tape & flexible glue. For creating a stitched patch, I use woolly nylon thread. See next post.

Love this from @melcoate.bsky.social 👇🏻💚🔥 Celebrate the kit you own. #HowYouKitUp

I spotted this beauty on my jog to the @thegreenrunners.bsky.social Nottingham local meet-up this morning.

A scorcher for our Nottingham meet-up this morning ☀️ when we visited Wollaton Park, home of Wollaton Hall, aka Batman's gaff. Protecting our planet, Caren & Jon cycled, while Matt J, Matt N & Kev ran to the park 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ A post parkrun litter pick was happily fruitless with only a few items of litter 🗑

Running, litter picking, and catching up at the Green Runners local meet up at Southwark parkrun 💚😄💚

What a great campaign! 💚😄 I’ve sent in my thoughts on what this means to me.

"Everybody in football loses by not tackling this." ⚽ Norway midfielder Morten Thorsby on the need to address the risk of extreme heat at this year’s FIFA World Cup and to “take serious climate action”, which includes severing ties to fossil fuel sponsors. 🧪 www.bbc.com/sport/articl...

FIFA’s ongoing promotion of fossil fuels, thru its sponsorship by oil giant Saudi Aramco, represents “a conflict of interest with the protection of player welfare”.

Muddy miles in well-loved daps over unboxing new shoes. That's the cultural shift in one image. Making longevity aspirational instead of just practical.

Ocean systems shape life on land. Parts of the Pacific Ocean reached record surface temperatures in April. This matters globally. When oceans warm, the consequences do not stay at sea. #ElNiño @esaclimate.bsky.social @copernicusmarine.bsky.social Graphic: Copernicus Climate Change Service

Shocking report by Unearthed and @greenpeaceafrica.org. Fast fashion over consumption in the UK is generating huge volumes of waste that is polluting Ghana and other African countries. As runners, we need to play our part in #HowWeKitUp when it is comes to kit & event merch.

Fascinating article from @carbonbrief.org “I was sceptical about climate change. I was cautious about crying wolf…But I’m no longer sceptical. Now I do not have any doubt at all. I think climate change is the major challenge facing the world.”

To address climate change, we need to stop and spend a few minutes understanding what causes it. If you think it's just “CO2 from burning fossil fuels”, you're missing a big part of the story. Like ~40% of climate change caused by other things. Learn more here. drawdown.org/insights/the...

Think climate change is just about CO2 and fossil fuels? 💡 Think again. Four graphics from @globalecoguy.bsky.social and @jamesgerber.bsky.social shine a light on the varied sources of GHG emissions — so you can better understand and address climate change. 🔗 https://bit.ly/42ghOg3
